How are these measures computed?
Pick rating. The pick rating estimates what a card is worth when you choose it, before there are results: it combines several signals (expert evaluations, the choices of strong players, characteristics of the card such as its cost and rarity) and was tuned on the results of decks of strong players. It is for comparing cards while you draft.
Observed strength. The observed strength is the win rate of the games in which the card was in hand at some point (opening hand or drawn), from hundreds of thousands of real games of online draft players since the set came out. The rank compares the cards seen in at least 1,000 games. It does not correct for the strength of the deck the card is played in, and a result stays uncertain for a card that is played little (about 1.6 points of margin at 1,000 games).
A very good rare of the format (7.4/10).
Why. A 4/4 for four that turns each death of your nonland creatures into an animated land carrying counters equal to the dead creature's power. Trades start favouring you: the creature dies and a land creature steps in.
Risks. You need lands to animate, and a land creature is exposed to removal and combat. A creature with no power gives nothing. If nothing trades, it is just a solid body.
In the draft. A good pick for a black-green deck that trades a lot. Add sturdy creatures around it: the bigger they are, the better each death pays.

Its place in the set
- Rare: rank 16 of 60
- Multicolour: rank 8 of 51
- Cost 4: rank 9 of 52
- Average pick: 3.2 (1 = taken first from a pack; the lower the number, the earlier players choose it)
Win rate by colour pair
Percentage of games won by the decks of each pair that play the card, with the number of games. The pairs are the two main colors of the deck: when the card has a color outside the pair, the deck plays it as a splash (marked “splash”). A pair that has an archetype in this set leads to its guide.
